If you do some searches you will find some medical documentation that the tunnel is nothing more than your optic nerves shutting down, from outside to inside—creating an illusion of a tunnel. The great feeling is nothing more than endorphins.
The documentation describes a pretty consistent experience across the board. That is what is interesting.
And, if it is really as great there as folks say, why would you want to come back and talk to us?
And if Jesus was God, then wouldn’t it be the same as the “light?”
You can really drive yourself nuts trying to reconcile our “religion”—created by men, with a physical and spiritual experience created by our creator.
That is where faith comes in. I think it will be OK. But, it is the one question we all have to answer on our own.
On the side of a mountain, after a fall and bleeding out internally during a snowstorm.... I'll take that. It puts me out and the pain goes away.
On the other hand.... I did have a personal experience that changed my life forever.
Faith is personal, and not up for debate.
I expect I'll find out eventually. ;)

Indeed. If the border between here and there is as penetrable in both directions as these NDE practitioners (for lack of a better term) tell us, then why don't we ever hear from our dear departed?
